I Like To Make Stuff

[greatscottlab]

Such a ridiculous idea, ....I love it!

[danthemakerman]

Your enthusiasm for Star Wars is contagious. I love projects where you make something just to see if you can. Those are usually the best conversation pieces.

[MichaelAlm]

This is hysterical! I could see that mad scientist smile when you picked it up for the first time. Nice work Bob! Hope to see the whole display...

[GeeksWoodShop]

Do you know what you've started?! The huge lightsaber escalation must now begin!

Awesome.

[AaronVozzolo]

I could not stop smiling through the entire video...too incredible! Huge Star Wars fan and you did an amazing job with these! Congrats and I too am looking forward to the new movie and your project is the perfect tie-in!

[TheGeekPub]

When you started the light-saber fight with those two giant sabers I laughed so hard! My first LOL for real! Great idea!

[SpecificLove]

I love your description at the end of the video. "Are they necessary?" No ... LOL, but they are super cool. I love the simple projects that turn out so nice.

[AloneTimeTogether]

Yes!!! "I was just giggling to myself the entire time!" You win the internet today sir. Take a bow.

oh and thanks for the idea for my channel :)

[adamrowen]

Man, I love you. I've got a woodwork class at school at the moment and it is so bad because the teacher sucks and I have no proper tools but you give me inspiration to make cool DIY things when I get a bit older. Thank you for posting videos and making people happy.

[ChadMcC]

Great example of your creativity. Your passion for "making stuff" really comes through in this episode.

[addiebrice]

I just subscribed and that bookcase with a a secret room is genius. You make your work seem so easy I luv it!

[Philbrush]

Are they rediculous? Yes. Unnecessary? Yes. Am I seriously considering making some? Absolutely!

And yes, I am really looking forward to "The Force Awakens"!

[Wordsnwood]

Bob, your nerd cred just went through the roof.

You're right on all counts. It's totally ridiculous. I love it. And I would have been giggling like a twelve year old also.

I'm surprised how well the light illuminates the corrugated plastic, especially without an end cap on the far end.

Two thumbs up, buddy!
...art

Unnecessary? Check.
Had a blast making them? Check.

[Sergey-wgne]

Loved the dramatic looks of both duelists at the beginning of an epic duel!

[Nomnac]

the fact you can actually 'play' with them makes them epic! keep up the great work Bob

[BenBrandt]

So this was your over-the-top project, eh? Awesome :-) Looks like fun!

[davelevee]

Ok Bob, That was stinking I hope the rest of your christmas display is life size Darth and Luke dressed as nutcrackers fighting with the lightsabers!!!! again too stinking amazing, I LOVE the creativity that you supply it is inspiring the rest of my church staff with ideas of what we are going to be doing for different events this next year! Keep up the amazing work.

[BradleyMakesThings]

Oh man this is ridiculous but super rad!! Definitely put a smile on my face!! Also, the shots/editing on the light saber battle were really really good! Felt like a movie. Bravo sir! Thanks for sharing as always!

[TheWicker]

This was awesome. Love the playfulness. And the epic battle at the end was perfect.
